On the coast of the Land of Fire.
In a seaside town full of Whitebeard Pirates' flags.
"Tsunade-sama! Tsunade-sama! Something big has happened in the ninja world! And... and this big event in the ninja world is related to Whitebeard-sama!!"
"Eh? Tsunade-sama, why are you drinking so much again? You were drunk yesterday, and you're like this again today?"
Shizune, holding a little pig Tonton.
Rushed to find Tsunade.
Tsunade, Shizune... They both crossed the entire Land of Fire to get here while looking for Whitebeard.
The main reason is that they didn't expect that an old man in his seventies could walk so much.
Whitebeard not only crossed the Land of Fire.
He even crossed the sea to the Land of Water.
Currently, the place where Tsunade and Shizune are located is the Land of Fire coastal town that Whitebeard passed through when he left the Land of Fire.
This town was originally in a state of ruin.
But after several months of reconstruction.
It looks decent.
At least, the surviving residents of the town have a place to live. They don't have to become beggars, and they don't need to wander the streets of the ninja world.
Tsunade sat in the town's tavern.
Pinching a small wine glass.
She was drunk.
"Hmm? Shizune? Burp!" Tsunade burped, her cheeks were a bit red, she was full of alcohol, and she said vaguely: "What's the big deal with Whitebeard? He didn't just take down some town and hang a bunch of pirate flags there, did he?"
"Tsunade-sama! Whitebeard-sama, he killed the Fourth Mizukage in the Land of Water!" Shizune hurriedly said: "It's that one, Karatachi Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage!"
"Just killing a... huh?"
Tsunade reacted in a daze: "Killed the Fourth Mizukage? Mizukage... Hiss! What? Mizukage!?"
Tsunade sobered up in an instant.
The blush on her cheeks quickly faded.
The few mark of drunkenness in her eyes also quickly disappeared.
She became extremely sober.
Her eyes regained their clarity.
"He, went to the Land of Water, killed Mizukage?" Tsunade's eyes couldn't help but widen a few points: "He just recently, in the Land of Grass, killed a leader of a Kusagakure village, right?"
"Are you sure this isn't some unreliable gossip?" Tsunade frowned, this news sounded a bit unreliable!
"Tsunade-sama, we are actually quite behind in what we know." Shizune smiled bitterly: "According to the news, this has already spread in the Land of Water, it should not be fake news."
"....This, killing a Mizukage"
Tsunade suddenly had a headache: "That old man doesn't fear that he will be assassinated by those mad blood Kirigakure ninjas, does he?"
Tsunade knew about Kirigakure Village quite well.
She knew very well that the blood Kirigakure ninjas of Kirigakure Village were like mad dogs, they wouldn't let go until they bit someone to death.
The Kusagakure village is a small ninja village, even if this village is destroyed, the waves it will cause in the ninja world will not be too outrageous.
But the Kirigakure Village that Whitebeard got involved with....
It's one of the Five Great Ninja Villages!
Tsunade gritted her teeth: "I told him to rest well, and I specifically reminded him several times! This willful old man, why doesn't he know to follow the doctor's advice?"
....
Konohagakure Village
At the Hokage's office...
The sound of "puff puff" sucking on a cigarette pipe is always particularly irritating. The entire Hokage office is already filled with smoke.
Mitokado Homura, who took over the root from Shimura Danzo's hands, just pushed open the door of the Hokage office and found a cloud of smoke rushing towards him.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" Mitokado Homura bent over and coughed repeatedly, almost dropping the glasses he was wearing.
The smoke made his eyes water.
"Sarutobi, can't you open the window when you smoke?" Mitokado Homura finally adapted.
"Oh, sorry." Sarutobi Hiruzen said sorry with his mouth, but from his frowning expression, it can be seen that his reply is very perfunctory.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is full of worries.
"It seems..... you already know what happened in the Land of Water." Mitokado Homura understood when he saw him like this: "You don't need me to tell you right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"Yes! The news has spread so widely, it's hard not to know." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Killing a Fourth Mizukage is not a joke. Whitebeard has no idea how much trouble he will cause by doing this."
Mitokado Homura interjected: "From the time he killed a Daimyo of the Land of Grass, we should know that Whitebeard is not afraid of trouble at all."
"I really forgot that he is a pirate."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "The problem is that Naruto, this child, is still with Whitebeard. The more trouble Whitebeard gets into, the more likely Naruto is to be in danger."
Speaking of this.
"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyebrows moved, he probably guessed what Mitokado Homura wanted to say, but he still asked: "Homura, what are your thoughts?"
Mitokado Homura said: "Sarutobi, there has always been a dispute between us and the Land of Water over the division of some islands."
The pair of eyes under the lens narrowed slightly.
"We Konohagakure can take advantage of this opportunity to get some territory, the Land of Water at this stage absolutely wouldn't dare to conflict with us."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his chin's beard.
"Let me think about it."
At this time, Mitokado Homura suddenly thought of something, he continued: "Sarutobi, I think Jinchuriki is very unlikely to fall into the hands of the enemy, don't forget what day it is in two months. And don't forget, what is the 'dream' of Jinchuriki."
"Naruto's dream, of course I know. That little guy dreams of becoming Hokage, even surpassing me, this Hokage."
As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen said this.
His turbid eyes suddenly brightened.
"The start of the Ninja Academy!!"
....
"Shikamaru! Shikamaru! I heard some shocking news from the adults in our clan!" Akimichi Chouji, holding a bag of chips, waved to Nara Shikamaru who was walking ahead.
Shikamaru showed a combination of world-weariness and decadence.
It's quite pretentious for a kid to show such an expression.
But it's surprisingly suitable on his face.
Shikamaru walked slowly to Chouji's side, before Chouji could speak, he preemptively said, "It's about Naruto, right?"
"Eh?" Chouji scratched his head, "You guessed it.
"It's about Naruto's Father, right?" Shikamaru said again.
"Eh?" Chouji was shocked, "Even you know?"
"Please, who in the village doesn't know about that?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes helplessly.
Looking up at the oddly shaped white clouds in the blue sky, he continued, "Mizukage, should be similar to Hokage, Naruto's Father killed a Mizukage. In Konohagakure Village, it's equivalent to him killing the Hokage-sama."
Chouji was so scared that his chips fell.
His face was dumbfounded, "This... is it that serious?"
Chouji swallowed a mouthful of saliva in the dark.
"Then... can Naruto still return to Konohagakure Village?" Chouji asked weakly.
"He should be able to come back by himself. But if Whitebeard comes back with him, do you think If a person who has killed the leader of Kusagakure village and the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village..."
Shikamaru continued with a complex tone, "Would the village let such a dangerous person in? Once that happens, it's likely to cause a not-so-small conflict."
He's clearly just a kid the same age as Naruto.
But the issues Shikamaru thinks about and the tone of his speech.
It's like a thoughtful adult.
Chouji was troubled, "But the ninja school is about to start, in that case... Naruto, he can't come back, can he?"
"Who knows about this kind of thing?"
Shikamaru shook his head.
....
With a slight breaking sound, a wooden kunai flew towards the Uchiha clan leader
But it was easily caught by him.
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him who was already panting, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head in disappointment, "Compared to Itachi, it's still far behind... not even one-tenth."
Sasuke's tired little face looked a bit dim.
His mood seemed a bit low, "Father, was my brother very powerful at my age?"
"Sasuke, you're already seven years old this year, and in the last two months, you'll be going to ninja school." Fugaku sighed, he said, "Itachi, at your age... he had already graduated from ninja school."
"And he also graduated from the ninja school with the best grades in the whole school, becoming the most outstanding graduate of that year. The next year, he activated the Sharingan."
"Two years later, he stood out from the Chunin exam by himself. A year or two later, he joined the Anbu."
After saying his eldest son's achievements.
Uchiha Fugaku was still a little proud.
But when he thought of Itachi's character, and his incompatible views on the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village, Fugaku couldn't help but sigh again.
"Sasuke, do you think you can reach your brother's level?" He also knew that as a father, he shouldn't be like this, asking a son who has just turned seven not long ago.
But Fugaku always couldn't help comparing Sasuke with Itachi.
Then, Fugaku found that these two brothers, who were clearly born of the same father and mother, WHy is the gap so big?
I didn't cheating! and I don't think My Wife cheat on me either!
".....My brother is so excellent, I can't reach his level, I think it's quite normal, right?" Sasuke weakly said a sentence, then he tried to cheer up: "I don't want to surpass my brother, I just want to surpass Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Uzumaki Naruto?" This is the first time Fugaku heard this familiar name from Sasuke's mouth.
Fugaku's face changed slightly.
"How do you know him?" He asked Sasuke: "Is there anyone in the clan who told you something they shouldn't have said?"
"No, no!" Sasuke suddenly found that his father's face had become very scary.
He explained in a low voice with grievance: "I met Uzumaki Naruto and his Father Whitebeard by coincidence before."
Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that so?" Fugaku pondered for a moment and asked: "So, you want to surpass Uzumaki Naruto?"
Sasuke cheered up and nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"But do you know what he is doing now with his foster father?" Fugaku shook his head and said: "Uzumaki Naruto, following his foster father Whitebeard, wiped out a ninja village, killed a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, killed the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village."
"And you?" Fugaku found that when he compared Sasuke and Naruto, Sasuke seemed to be nothing at all.
With a little effort, he crushed the wooden kunai in his hand: "Sasuke, you are too much of a greenhouse flower."
Sasuke stood in place with a dull face.
"I...I...."
Sasuke made up his mind: "Father! Please train me! Train me to the maximum limit I can bear! When the ninja school starts, I also want to be the first in the same grade! I want to uphold my brother's honor, I can't lose the face of the Uchiha clan, I want to surpass Uzumaki Naruto!"
"I want Naruto to know that I am better than him when he comes back!" Sasuke gritted his teeth: "I will make him take back what he said to me!"
Fugaku was slightly stunned.
"Now, that's a good determination."
He showed a smile.
....
Land of Water.
Kirigakure Village.
Nowadays, Kirigakure Village has changed its face. Although the position of "Mizukage" is still vacant, the various high-level officials in Kirigakure Village are still operating the village.
Because, if they don't operate the village...
They can't pay back the money they owe to Whitebeard!
Terumi Mei promised to give Whitebeard a year's fiscal revenue of Kirigakure Village, and she also used this chip to hire the Whitebeard Pirate Group. She also said that this number will not be less than 500 million ryos.
That is to say...
If a year later, Kirigakure Village cannot come up with 500 million ryos of liquid funds to give to Whitebeard.
Hiss! The high-level officials of Kirigakure Village can hardly imagine what will happen.
Whitebeard has gone from being a domineering "party B"
To becoming a creditor of Kirigakure Village.
Another headache for them is... Whitebeard actually hung a pirate flag on the Mizukage office building in Kirigakure Village!
A huge pirate flag was hung on the building, and if you didn't know, you would think this place was a pirate's den!
And Whitebeard's people have banquets in the village every two or three days.
The key is that the banquet funds are paid by Kirigakure Village.
In just over a month, they spent millions of Ryo.
You know, Kirigakure Village is poor! Although Kirigakure Village is surrounded by sea and rich in resources, the problem is that after years of blood mist policy, Kirigakure Village is even poorer than Sunagakure Village.
They just invited a group of "Pirate" into the village!
Just as the high-level officials of Kirigakure were frowning.
A sudden good news...
Made them dizzy.
"What? Whitebeard is leaving?" A high-ranking elder of Kirigakure Village, with wide eyes in disbelief: "He's leaving Kirigakure Village? Even leaving the Land of Water? Isn't his pirate ship still being built? How can he leave so soon?"
"Terumi Mei asked Whitebeard, and Whitebeard frankly said that his son has reached the age to enter Konohagakure Village Ninja Academy." Another high-ranking official of Kirigakure Village said: "Whitebeard also said that his son's dream is to become the Hokage of Konohagakure Village."
He paused, and continued: "He naturally wants to return to Konohagakure, so that his son... that is, the blond kid named Uzumaki Naruto, can enter the ninja Academy of Konohagakure Village."
Next to them, the hawk faction elder of Kirigakure frowned.
"Is that blond child of Whitebeard's also from Konohagakure Village?" The hawk faction elder snorted, "He's sensible enough. If he stays in the village any longer, I won't be polite to them!"
"That bastard actually hung a pirate flag on the Mizukage's office building, what does he think our Kirigakure Village is? Does he think this is his pirate den?"
None of the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure Village paid any attention to his rant.
Among them, an old lady with white hair said, "Whitebeard's departure is actually a bad thing for us at the moment. Kirigakure Village is very weak right now, and it's only recently, as long as Whitebeard was here, he kept the ruffians in check."
"Otherwise, who knows how many packs of wolves would want to bite a piece of meat off Kirigakure Village?" The old lady continued, "After all, it's Whitebeard who killed the Fourth Mizukage. As long as he stays here for a day, the wolves around Kirigakure Village will be wary for a day."
She said these few words, and no one in the room refuted them, because they couldn't find any reason to refute them.
The fact is just that.
They neither want Whitebeard, this pirate, to stay in Kirigakure Village, after all... this is their Kirigakure Village. But they also want Whitebeard to stay here, after all, no one would question Whitebeard's incredibly strong strength.
"Speaking of which..." After a long silence, a high-ranking official of Kirigakure suddenly said, "If Whitebeard is going to the Land of Fire, do we not have to pay back the money we owe him?"
He also said, "And the ship he wants to build, which costs too much manpower and material resources, do we not have to build it?"
After saying these two sentences, he found that all the high-ranking colleagues of Kirigakure had their eyes on him.
The two people next to him even moved their buttocks outside.
As if to get away from him.
The hawk elder, although disgruntled, had to speak directly: "When that pirate comes back, don't let your blood splash on me."
"So..." At this moment, someone suddenly interjected: "Has the Mizukage candidate been decided? Whitebeard is going to leave the Land of Water, he definitely can't be chosen, right?"
"This....." An elder hesitated a bit: "So quickly, a new Mizukage has been chosen?"
"That....." He looked at everyone: "Or should we wait for Whitebeard to come back and choose a Mizukage based on Whitebeard's opinion? After all, if we choose a Mizukage that Whitebeard is not satisfied with, what if he kills the Mizukage?"
Everyone: "..."
Although, this statement sounds particularly absurd.
But with their stereotyped impression of Whitebeard, they think this kind of thing is really possible after careful consideration in their hearts.
Kirigakure village is completely controlled by Whitebeard.
Whitebeard is about to leave with his "pirate group", but they always feel that Whitebeard is everywhere.
.....
"Land of Fire! Konohagakure village! Ninja Academy!"
Naruto, carrying a heavy load, the gate of Kirigakure village, is already a hundred meters behind him.
They left Kirigakure village.
Naruto, while taking heavy steps, sweat soaked his clothes, and he said with a brilliant smile: "Soon, I will be able to see Chouji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke again!"
Return to Konohagakure village, enroll in the ninja Academy.
This is Naruto's original idea.
Naruto believes that if he wants to become the Hokage of Konohagakure, the starting point should be the ninja school! He wants to start from the ninja school and let the people in the village change their views on him, Uzumaki Naruto.
For the ninja school, Naruto has fantasies and filters.
"Pops, can Karin and Haku also enroll in the ninja school together?"
Naruto said enthusiastically.
"Naruto, they both don't have a birth certificate from Konohagakure village, nor do they have a war orphan certificate from Konohagakure village." Kakashi interjected: "The ninja school is very strict in recruiting students."
Whitebeard laughed heartily: "My sons and daughters of Whitebeard want to enroll, which guy in Konohagakure village dares not to admit? They should also learn something, silly children!"
"If you don't study, you won't be smart. In the future, you won't be able to manage the increasingly large Whitebeard pirate group!"
"Gurararara!"
